Video: Nortel Meridian M9617 POTS Telephone

 

Thanks to Joe the UCX Guy who contacted me offline to offer one of his two sets he had. According to his post, “A friend sent me this set, and it works, although it’s a bit strange, the volume on the handset is really low on both lines.  Hands free is loud and clear but the handset is quite low volume.”

These sets were basically NOS or perhaps “New Old Stock” because he had opened them recently.

He tried to install the app on a  Windows 10 PC to no avail. Well there is such thing as virtualization and running older operating systems.

This video features the unboxing. The next video I’m trying to shoot for tomorrow, the 19th, where I will literally try to install the application per to Nortels specifications (I’ll try it on NT Workstation 4, with 8MB ram, 10MB harddisk and USB, TAPI, and all the other fun stuff for it to work and run it on Fusion on my Mac mini. I will say it will sure be fun to try!)

Without forgetting, Thank You!
